Nothing builds camaraderie better than sweating it out together, and when you can follow that with a beer, even better.

The setup at Detroit Endurance Lab is pretty cool. A group of riders face a giant monitor which gives real-time feedback on your speed, power output, and course position relative to other riders. As with any exercise biking, the uphill sections are an extra challenge, but for the non-hardcore on the team, Landall knows to go easy. We did a series of 2-minute races that definitely got people very winded but didn't cause any real pain.

The best part from a team-building perspective is the drafting feature. When you follow another rider closely, the system reduces the resistance on your bike. This makes it possible for stronger riders to "carry" weaker riders, and it encourages people to talk to each other while still peddling the bikes. By the end of some races people were literally cheering on the last finishers. Great time all the way around.See MoreRead Less
